Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings.

In recent years, research and development of machine learning technology using a neural network in a field of image recognition, sound recognition, and the like has been remarkable. Specifically, when deep learning technology is used, examples that can realize recognition accuracy which could not be obtained by the image recognition and sound recognition technology using a conventional feature amount base have been reported, and application to various industries is also examined. In deep learning, when learning image data or sound data are input to an input layer of a multilayered neural network, learning processing is performed so that output data (correct data) that is a correct recognition result is output from the output layer. Typically, the output data is annotation or metadata for the input data. For example, the output data is a name, a type, and an attribute of the imaged object that appears when the input data is an image, a word or a sentence that is uttered when the input data is a sound. In the learning processing of deep learning, a weight value of the coupling (synaptic coupling) between nodes configuring the neural network is updated using a known algorithm (for example, in a reverse error propagation method, adjust and update the weight value so as to reduce the error from the correct at the output layer, or the like). An aggregate of the weight values between the nodes on which the learning process is completed is called a “learned model”. By applying the learned model to a neural network having the same configuration as the neural network used in the learning process (setting as the weight value of inter-node coupling), it is possible to output correct data with a constant precision as output data (recognition result) when inputting unknown input data, i.e., new input data not used in learning processing, into the neural network. Therefore, in a device different from a device that generates the learned model (that is, learning process), by configuring the neural network using the learned model and executing recognition processing, it is possible to perform the image recognition and voice recognition by the learned recognition accuracy.

The inventors have found that there is a complicated problem in selecting a specific learned model from a plurality of the learned models when trying to perform image recognition, sound recognition, and the like. That is because at least one of the following problems exists, that is, (1) it is necessary to carefully understand the model because the characteristics of the learned model tend to be greatly influenced by the environment where the sensing device that gained learning data was installed, or (2) it is difficult to search for a model that fulfills a desired function because the function of the learned model is diverse.

Learned model providing system 1 according to the present disclosure is a system for selecting one or more learned models suitable for use purpose of the user side device from the plurality of learned models saved in a database in advance and providing the selected learned models to the user side device according to a use request acquired from the user side device. The learned model referred to in the present specification is a model generated by machine learning (for example, deep learning using a multilayered neural network, support vector machine, boosting, reinforcement learning, or the like) based on learning data and correct answer data (teacher data).

FIG. 4 is a sequence diagram illustrating an operation procedure of learned model providing system 1. Hereinafter, the operation procedure of server device 2 and user side device 3 of learned model providing system 1 will be described with reference to the sequence diagram of FIG. 4.

First, the user of user side device 3 operates input unit 34 to input needs information that is at least one information of the function and the use environment of the learned model requested by the user to user side device 3 (step ST101). The needs information includes request model information, use environment information, user side device 3, and user side resource information.

The request model information includes at least one information of the function of the learned model requested by user side device 3, the performance of the learned model requested by user side device 3, the usage compensation of the learned model requested by user side device 3, and the number of data items of user side data (sensing data) to be used when using the learned model by user side device 3.

The function of the learned model requested by user side device 3 is the use purpose or use application of the learned model. For example, in a case where the learned model is a learned model that performs some estimation on a person from a captured image including the person, examples of functions of the learned model include a face detection function, a human body detection function, a motion detection function, a posture detection function, a person attribute estimation function, a person behavior prediction function, and the like. The function of the learned model is not limited to these, and may be various functions according to the use purpose of the learned model. The performance of the learned model requested by user side device 3 is, for example, the correct rate (correctness degree), a relevance rate, a reappearance rate, a type or number of hierarchies of the neural network model, or the like when processing such as the image analysis processing is performed using the learned model. The usage compensation of the learned model is, for example, a virtual currency or a point.

The use environment information is information on an acquisition environment of the user side data (sensing data) used when using the learned model by user side device 3, specifically, includes information on at least one of an acquiring condition of user side data and an installation environment of a device used for acquiring the user side data. For example, in a case where the user side data is a captured image and the device used for acquiring the user side data is a camera, examples of acquiring conditions of user side data include imaging time (for example, day, night, or the like), an imaging environment (for example, weather, illuminance, or the like), the number of cameras, and various imaging parameters (for example, installation height, imaging angle, focal distance, zoom magnification, resolution, or the like) of the camera, and the like. Examples of the installation environment of the device (camera) used for acquiring the user side data include a place where the camera is installed (for example, a convenience store, a station, a shopping mall, a factory, an airport, or the like), an environment around the camera (for example, outside the room, inside the room, or the like) and the like.

The user side resource information is, specifically, includes information on the resource and the capability (resource and specification) of user side device 3 and on the resource and the capability (resource and specification) of the device (for example, the camera) to be used for acquiring the user side data which is to be used when using the learned model by user side device 3. The resource or capability of user side device 3 includes the CPU type, the type (or the number) of the GPU, the type of the OS, the neural network model, the number of hierarchies, and the like of user side device 3.

The request model information, the use environment information, and the user side resource information input to user side device 3 are transmitted to server device 2 via a network such as the Internet (step ST102).

When receiving the request model information, the use environment information, and the user side resource information from user side device 3, server device 2 performs matching between the request model information and saved model information (hereinafter, referred to as “function matching”), matching between the use environment information and the generation environment information (hereinafter, referred to as “environment matching”), and matching between the user side resource information and the necessary resource information (hereinafter, referred to as “resource matching”), respectively (step ST103). As described above, the saved model information, the generation environment information, and the necessary resource information are stored in learned model database 27 in advance. Each matching of the function matching, the environment matching, and the resource matching is performed by the well-known matching method. For example, a method based on a distance between parameters (similarity) of each item of normalized information is typically used. However, various matching methods such as statistical matching, hierarchical matching, or propensity score analysis may be used.

Subsequently, server device 2 selects the learned model to be provided from the plurality of learned models saved in learned model database 27 to user side device 3 based on each result of the function matching, the environment matching, and the resource matching (step ST104). For example, the learned model in which each result of the function matching, the environment matching, and the resource matching exceeds a predetermined threshold or rank for each matching may be selected as the learned model to be provided to user side device 3.

Next, server device 2 gives an advisability of the learned model to the selected learned model (step ST105). In a case where there are a plurality of selected learned models, the advisability is given to each of the selected learned models. The advisability is determined based on at least one of the usage record of the learned model, the evaluation of the learned model, and the number of learning data used for generating the learned model. In addition, at least one of the function matching, the environment matching, and the resource matching may be used for determining the advisability. For the usage record, use history of the learned model may be used. The evaluation, reputation, or the like obtained from the outside via a network such as the Internet may be used for the evaluation. The use history and the evaluation may be stored in the learned model database 27 in advance in association with the learned model.

Server device 2 transmits the saved model information, the generation environment information, the necessary resource information, and the advisability of the selected learned model to user side device 3 (step ST106). As described above, the saved model information and the generation environment information are stored in learned model database 27 in advance. Accordingly, the saved model information, the generation environment information, and the advisability of the learned model selected by server device 2 can be presented to the user of user side device 3.

When user side device 3 receives the saved model information, the generation environment information, the necessary resource information, and the advisability of the selected learned model from server device 2, user side device 3 displays a screen indicating the received information on display 33. The user of user side device 3 confirms the information displayed on display 33 and determines the learned model to be used by user side device 3 (step ST107). Specifically, in a case where the selected learned model is one, the user of user side device 3 determines whether or not to accept the use of the learned model, and in a case where there are a plurality of the selected learned models, the user determines whether to use one of the plurality of learned models or not to use any learned models.

The determination result of the user of user side device 3 is input to user side device 3 via input unit 34. The determination result input to user side device 3 is transmitted from user side device 3 to server device 2 as a determination notice (step ST108). Server device 2 transmits the learned model determined by user side device 3 to user side device 3 based on the determination notice received from user side device 3 (step ST109).

In this manner, in learned model providing system 1 according to the present disclosure, since server device 2 can select the learned model to be provided to user side device 3 from the plurality of learned models saved in learned model database 27 based on needs information acquired from user side device 3, it is possible to select the learned model suitable for the user side needs.

In addition, in learned model providing system 1 according to the present disclosure, since the model information and the advisability of the learned model selected by server device 2 can be presented to the user of user side device 3, it is possible to determine the learned model to be used by user side device 3 based on the information items by the user of user side device 3.

In addition, all the configuration elements of the method for providing a learned model and the learned model providing device according to the present disclosure described in the above embodiment are not necessarily essential, and it is possible to appropriately select at least the element as long as they do not deviate from the scope of the present disclosure.

For example, in the present embodiments, both the model information and the advisability are presented to user side device 3 after selecting the learned model, but only one of the model information and the advisability may be presented.

In addition, the step of presenting one or both of the model information and the advisability after selecting the learned model may be omitted. In addition, in the present embodiment, the image data is exemplified as learning data and user side data (sensing data). However, the learning data and the user side data are not limited to the image data. For example, the learning data and the user side data may be a sound, temperature, humidity, vibration, weather, and the like.
